[In this quiz, Chihiro ranked first with the highest winning rate, followed by Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Zhang Jiao, and Sigurd. Waver, Artoria, Iskandar, Irisviel, Red Hare, El-Melloi II, Kayh, and the First Emperor tied for third pce. They were rewarded with one gold, one silver, and one broreasure chest respectively.]

  [, we will calcute the scores for the overall quiz...]

  [gratutions! Group member Chihiro ranked first, with Waver and Zhang Jiao tied for sed, and Emiya Kiritsugu rahird. The three will receive special rewards.]

  Kayh: "What?!"

  The results were surprising to everyone.

  Chihiro's victories were well known by this point, but Waver and Emiya Kiritsugu pg so highly had caught many off guard. Feaid attention to their steady accumution of points.

  Waver: "Wait, I actually ranked sed?!"

  Chihiro: "Heh, well done, Waver."

  Emiya Kiritsugu: "Special rewards, huh?"

  In a car speeding toward the airport, Emiya Kiritsugu sat silently, his thoughts rag. His hands tightened into fists.

  "If I could get something, anything that could save Irisviel… this is my st ce."

  Having lost hope in the broreasure chests won by Artoria and Irisviel, Kiritsugu khe odds of obtaining a miracle from them were slim.

  Then, suddenly, a box appeared out of thin air before him, filled with brightly colored lottery tickets.

  This was the lottery box.

  "So, special rewards are decided by lottery, huh?"

  Without hesitation, Kiritsugu reached into the box and pulled out a lottery ticket. He was running out of time, everything would now depend on fate.

  [Ding! gratutions to group member Emiya Kiritsugu for drawing the "Oime Horse Seal!"]

  A glimmering Seal resembling a stone seal appeared in Kiritsugu's hand. It was adorned with a blue horse symbol carved elegantly into its surface.

  [Horse Seal: One of twelve magical artifacts from another world, created by the Fire Demon Lord. Its power purges all external forces that do not belong to the body, including poisons, curses, and fies.]

  Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes, gripping the talisman as the system eborated.

  [he world of the Fire Demon Lord is entirely separate and uo this o exists as its own distinct reality.]

  "Another world entirely…" He murmured.

  Kiritsugu let out a small sigh of relief. If this other world had unleashed such a demon onto his own, it could've caused unimaginable disaster. But for now, the talisman's properties were all that mattered.

  "If this Seal truly removes curses and other external influehen… could it save Irisviel? Could it remove the Holy Grail from her body?"

  Though uain, Kiritsugu decided to take the gamble. With trembling hands, he gently pced the talisman onto Irisviel.

  The Seal emitted a dazzling white light that enveloped her body entirely, radiating a warm and purifying glow. Moments ter, the light dimmed, and the talisman vanished.

  In Irisviel's arms, a small object materialized. It was the Lesser Grail.

  "It worked… It actually worked!"

  Kiritsugu's voice wavered with disbelief, and for the first time in what felt like years, a genuine smile formed on his face.

  "Kiritsugu… the Grail is gone!"

  Irisviel, who moments earlier had been fio the brink of colpse, now stood up, her strength fully restored. The burden of the Lesser Grail was gone from her body.

  "Kiritsugu… Irisviel…"

  From her seat in the driver's position, Artnced back, a rare smile lighting her usually stern face.

  Kiritsugu's moment of joy was short-lived. He turo the Lesser Grail, nohysical object resting in Irisviel's arms. His expression clouded with unease as he spoke.

  "What do we do with it?" Artoria asked grimly.

  Memories of the destru caused by the corrupted Grail fshed in his mind. He couldn't afford to let it fall into the wrong hands again.

  "I'll keep it for now," Kiritsugu decided. "It's not filled yet, so it shouldn't pose an immediate threat."

  With that, he safely stored the Lesser Grail.

  Meanwhile, the lottery box moved to Waver's side.

  "So, the special reward is… a lottery?" Waver murmured, staring at the box with a mixture of curiosity and fusion.

  "e on, boy!" Iskandar boomed. "Don't keep us waiting. Draw already!"

  Around them, Kayh, El-Melloi II, and several athered with i, urging Waver oating slightly, Waver reached into the box, fumbling nervously before pulling out a ticket.

  ["Ding! gratutions to group member Waver for drawing the 'Superpower Training Box!'"]

  [A circur device appeared in Waver's hand, sleek and futuristi design.]

  [Superpower Training Box: A high-tech artifact from another world that es user to develop three superhuman abilities: telekinesis, x-ray vision, and teleportation through specialized training.]

  "Superpowers…?" Waver muttered, staring at the devi disbelief. "As in abilities beyond magic?"

  [Unlike magic, which relies on magical energy to ma phenomena, superpowers are fueled purely by the user's mental strength. This box provides the means to train and awaken such abilities in any ordinary human.]

  "Superpowers?! Boy, this sounds amazing!" Iskandar said enthusiastically. "Try it out now!"

  "It's not that simple, my lord," Waver replied, shaking his head. The instrus clearly stated that the training required three hours of daily practice over the course of three years to yield results.

  "Three years…" Waver murmured, sidering it. "Well, that's not so bad. For a mage, that's practically no time at all."

  Kayh examihe box with i but made no move to cim it. He wao see if Waver could truly awaken these powers before passing judgment.

  Meanwhile, the lottery box appeared before Chihiro.

  "A lottery box?" Chihiro remarked, his tone amused. "Feels like a fancier version of opening a treasure chest."

  Zhang Jiao didn't hesitate mud quickly pulled out a lottery ticket.

  [Ding! gratutions to group member Zhang Jiao for obtaining the "Tongtian Lu"!]

  [Tongtian Lu: A top-tier secret teique from another world. No preparation or talisman paper is required. It allows the user to draw talismans directly in the air. It is the ultimate talismanic ability.]

  "Drawing talismans out of thin air!"

  Zhang Jiao was stunned as he read the introdu.

  Even someone as skilled as him required talisman paper as a medium for his spells. But this Tongtian Lu pletely removed that limitation, allowing talismans to be drawn and activated directly in the air.

  Moreover, as long as the user's power was suffit, they could draw an immense number of talismans in a very short time.

  This was already akin to a celestial teique.

  If practitioners from other spellcasting fas were to learn about this ability, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar.

  Standing off to the side, Chihiro was equally astonished as he watched Zhang Jiao's rea.

  Unbelievable. So the items in this lottery box really were sourced from entirely different worlds.

  Without hesitation, he reached in and quickly pulled out a ticket.

  [Ding! gratutions to group member Chihiro for drawing "Ars Ignis!"]

  A scroll appeared in Chihiro's hands, its edges glowing faintly with mystical energy.

  "This…" Chihiro breathed, his eyes lighting up as he unrolled the scroll, revealing rows of intricate runes written in an unfamiliar script. "This is incredible."

  He immediately reized the significe of the scroll. Though the system didn't specify, he realized it inated from a world where elemental magic was onpce, likely tied to myths of divine creation.

  [Ars Ignis: A spell scroll from another world that tains all fire-element teiques of that world. These spells are designed for mortal practitioners but are imbued with immeential.]

  "It's a treasure trove of fire-elemental magic," Chihiro said, excitement evident in his voice. "I've never seen anything like it."

  As he shared the details with Zhang Jiao and the others, their i grew. Zhang Jiao, in particur, was astonished by the depth of the scroll's knowledge.

  "This is… revolutionary," Zhang Jiao said, his voice filled with wonder. "Teiques like this could ge everything we know about fire-based magecraft."

  However, Sigurd and Hassan of the Hundred Faces were less impressed, both struggling to make sense of the runes.

  "What kind of writing is this?" Sigurd asked, frowning. "It looks like scribbles to me."

  "Even as an assassin trained in aexts, this is beyond me," Hassan admitted.

  Chihiro smiled faintly. "Good thing I studied cssical calligraphy. This will take some time to fully decipher, but it'll be worth it."
